Mary Shelley conveyed through her masterpiece "Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus" a very strong message about the responsibility of science and society.
Her gothic novel, written for a contest among intellectuals during a rainy summer at Lord Byron's mansion, represents now one of the deepest and most insightful analysis of the human being, his fears, his relationship with society and his inner dualism.
I'd like to leave behind all the images and reinterpetations of the subject that we have known through movies, theatre and even cartoons, in order to rediscover the true meaning of this classic work.
